7 Ways to Grow the Action Habit

People at the top of every profession share one quality — they get things done.This ability supercedes intelligence, talent, and connections in
determining the size of your salary and the speed of your advancement.

Despite the simplicity of this concept there is a perpetual shortage of people who excel at getting results. The action habit — the habit of putting ideas into action now — is essential to getting things done. Here are 7 ways you can grow the action habit:


1. Don't wait until conditions are perfect - Ifyou're waiting to start until conditions are perfect, you probably never will. There will always be something that isn't quite right.Either the timing is off, the market is down, or there's too much competition. In the real world there is no perfect time to start. You have to take action and deal with problems as they arise. The best time to start was last year. The second best time is right now.

2. Be a doer - Practice doing things rather than thinking about them. Do you want to start exercising? Do you have a great idea to pitch your boss? Do it today. The longer an idea sits in your head without being acted on, the weaker it becomes. After a few days the details gets hazy. After a week it's forgotten completely. By becoming a doer you'll get more done and stimulate new ideas in the process.

3. Remember that ideas alone don't bring success - Ideas are important, but they're only valuable after they've been implemented. One average idea that's been put into action is more valuable than a dozen brilliant ideas that you're saving for "some other day" or the "right opportunity". If you have an idea the you really believe in, do something about it. Unless you take action it will never go anywhere.

4. Use action to cure fear - Have you ever noticed that the most difficult part of public speaking is waiting for your turn to speak? Even professional speakers and actors experience pre-performance anxiety. Once they get started the fear disappears. Action is the best cure for fear. The most difficult time to take action is the very first time. After the ball is rolling, you'll build
confidence and things will keep getting easier. Kill fear by taking 
action and build on that confidence.

5. Start your creative engine mechanically - One of the biggest misconceptions about creative work is that it can only be done when inspiration strikes. If you wait for inspiration to slap you in the face, your work sessions will be few and far between. Instead of waiting, start your creative motor mechanically. If you need to write something, force yourself to sit down and write. Put pen to paper.Brainstorm. Doodle. By moving your hands you'll stimulate the flow of ideas and inspire yourself.


6. Live in the present - Focus on what you can do in the present moment. Don't worry about what you should have done last week or what you might be able to do tomorrow. The only time you can affect is the present. If you speculate too much about the past or the future you won't get anything done. Tomorrow or next week frequently turns into never.

7. Get down to business immediately - It's common practice for people to socialize and make small talk at the beginning of meetings. The same is true for individual workers. How often do you check email or RSS feeds before doing any real work? These distractions will cost you serious time if you don't bypass them and get down to business immediately. By becoming someone who gets to the point you'll be more productive and people will look to you as a leader.

It takes courage to take action without instructions from the person 
in charge. Perhaps that's why initiative is a rare quality that's
coveted by managers and executives everywhere. Seize the initiative.
When you have a good idea, start implementing it without being told.
Once people see you're serious about getting things done they'll want 
to join in. The people at the top don't have anyone telling them what
to do. If you want to join them, you should get used to acting
independently.

Having These 10 Habits Will Really Improve Your Immunity! The immune system - a complex network of organs, proteins, and cells - is our body's main defense against viruses, bacteria, or any other foreign substances. When the immune system is working properly, you remain healthy and there is less chance of becoming ill. However, when the performance of the immune system is compromised, you become vulnerable to infection and a wide range of other health problems. For better immunity, eating healthy and getting proper rest and sleep are absolutely essential. However, apart from a good diet and sound sleep, there are many other small things that can help strengthen your immunity. Here are 10 simple habits that will help to boost your immunity. 1. Maintain Body Hygiene    Good personal hygiene will help keep germs at bay and stop an infection before it has the chance to begin. Furthermore, you'll avoid spreading germs to others. • Wash your hands frequently - especially after touching anyone/anything that may have germs. • Drying your hands thoroughly is as important as washing them, since germs thrive more easily on wet surfaces. • Always wash your wet towels in warm water and replace any damp ones with dry ones often.  • Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once. Replace your toothbrush every three months.  • Use mouthwash to kill any germs inside your mouth. • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. • Don't pick at healing wounds as doing so will allow germs to enter. 2. Drink Plenty of Water No matter how healthy you are eating, it won't help much if you're not drinking enough water. One of the benefits of drinking water is that adequate hydration has a positive effect on the immune system. Water flushes toxins out of the body and ensures that your cells and organs are getting all the oxygen they need to function properly. Another huge benefit of drinking plenty of water is that it helps to keep your digestive system strong, so that you're able to properly digest your food. Adequate nutrition is vital when it comes to maintaining a strong immune system. When drinking water, try to drink clean and filtered water. when traveling, be aware that not all countries follow stringent standards of water safety, and therefore you may significantly increase your risk of contracting a water-borne disease if you drink from the tap. Therefore, while traveling, it is recommended that you only drink bottled water and avoid anything with ice in it. 3. Laugh Out Loud Emotions such as anger and grief can impair health, but laughter does the opposite. Laughter can boost your immunity, which in turn will provide your body with better resistance to illness and disease. A hearty laugh can increase the number of anti-infection antibodies as well as T-cells in the blood. Furthermore, it also increases the number of antibodies in the mucus made in the nose and respiratory passages, the entry point for germs. In addition to this, laughter increases blood circulation, stimulates digestion, reduce muscle tension, and lowers blood pressure. 4. Catch Some Sunrays    Sunlight helps in the production of vitamin D, the vitamin that helps promote protective immunity. If you have a low amount of vitamin D in your blood, you have a higher chance of suffering from infections, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Getting just 10-15 minutes of sun exposure (without sunscreen) each day is enough to produce vitamin D. 5. Be Positive Being joyful and optimistic is something we should all aspire for to remain healthy. The immune system takes many of its cues from our feelings and thoughts. In fact, a positive attitude has been shown to improve immunity. At the same time, those who are positive are at a lower risk of having a stroke or a heart attack. 6. Start Your Day with a Smoothie Eating breakfast is good for your health, but eating something healthy is a lot more important. Preparing a healthy breakfast is not an option for everyone. However, anyone can make a smoothie to ensure their day gets off to a good start. Fruit and vegetables can double your immune system's ability to fight diseases. The immune system requires quite a few nutrients in order to function well. The antioxidants C,E,A and selenium are just a few of the nutrients that you will get from fruit and vegetables. However, cooking fruit and vegetables can destroy their nutritional power. Therefore, it's best to eat vegetables in their raw form, which you can achieve by blending a few fruit or vegetables together to make a healthy smoothie. To make a delicious smoothie, all you need is a food processor or blender, some fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts or seeds, and a few minutes of preparation. 7. Meditate Meditation, in its many different forms, can tweak the immune system in a number of beneficial ways. Meditation creates a positive mental environment for the immune system to flourish. Additionally, it also boosts the antibodies that help make the immune system function more efficiently. furthermore, it helps to reduce anxiety and depression. Aim to practice meditation in a quiet and peaceful place for around 10-15 minutes each day. 8. Take a Daily Walk    Exercise is one of the best ways to promote good immunity. If you do not have the time for intense exercise, a 30 minute walk each day is all that your body needs to function properly. Walking reduces the levels of circulating inflammatory factors and oxidative stress, as well as increasing the recirculation of immune cells that kill cancerous and infected cells. Take a 30 minute walk each morning, and walk for another 10-15 minutes after dinner. Running, swimming, or jumping-rope are also great ways to boost your immunity and improve your overall health. 9. Listening to Music Listening to music can keep you healthy and your immunity strong. When you listen to music, your body produces more of the antibody immunoglobulin A. This antibody plays a very important part in the mucous system and helps to keep cells healthy. Moreover, music can have a great effect on mental health conditions, helping you to overcome low moods, anxiety and depression. what's great about this is that you don't even have to take time out of your busy schedule to listen to it. You can enjoy your favorite tunes wherever you go and whatever you're doing - be it driving, running, walking, cleaning, cooking, and even working. 10. Quit the Sugar sugar has no benefits to your health. In fact, sugar dramatically reduces immune function and makes you more susceptible to the common cold, flu, and other infections. Sugar impacts the functioning of white blood cells by competing with vitamin C for space in those cells. The white blood cells need vitamin C to function properly so that they can destroy bacteria and viruses. Therefore, the more sugar you eat, the less vitamin C will be available to the white blood cells, resulting in a weakened immunity. Therefore, you should opt for natural sweeteners instead such as stevia, jaggery and honey. Additional Tips  • Avoid regular tea and coffee and opt for ginger or green tea instead. • Get plenty of sleep and manage your stress levels. • Avoid smoking as well as second-hand smoke. • Eat 1-2 cloves of garlic a day. • Include immune-boosting herbs and spices in your cooking such as rosemary, oregano, and turmeric.
